The movie It doesn’t have as many title drops as I would’ve expected. Also I don’t recall anyone ever saying The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring in that film.
- stavros 2y agoYou should, perhaps, read the article.

- PittleyDunkin 2y agoHow would the commenter know to bring it up without reading the article? This feels like dodging the question of "why is the determination of a title drop so bad?"
- throwaway314155 2y agoThere's a section in the article regarding how to handle colons.
- PittleyDunkin 2y agoYet again, this feels like dodging the question of "why is the determination of a title drop so bad?" C'mon it was half the content of my comment and you still refused to acknowledge it. What do you want
- lmm 2y agoWhy should colons be such special case? Why not treat commata or dashes the same way? (And conversely, did they count the one in the Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie title?)
- alehlopeh 2y agoI obviously read at least some of the article.
- _puk 2y agoI think the GP's point (badly made) may be that the Lord of the rings example is addressed explicitly in the article. "titles containing a colon are split and either side counts as a title drop. So for The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring either "Lord of the Rings" or "Fellowship of the Ring" would count as title drops"
